A lovely hotel, in a scenic location with a view of the mountains. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly and approachable, very nice people who know their guests on first name basis. It is a nice retreat and is within 10 minute walking distance to the nice beach. This hotel is away from the toy town of Malia, which is full 16-19 year old party goers on quad bikes. The one thing that let this hotel down was again these exceptionally loud young ones, who were resident and took to shouting every night between 3am-5am.

The only thing stopping me from giving the hotel 5 stars is that the beds were uncomfortable! Everything else was great! The owner of the hotel was lovely and welcoming and took us to his restaurant that he owns, Steki, a couple of towns over, which I would also highly recommend. The hotel is in a great location, only a few minutes walk from the strip and the pool at the hotel was clean and lovely.

Pocket Guide: Heraklion Malia Hotels

Crete’s top party resort, Malia lies 37 kilometres from Heraklion. Developed in the 1980s, it is popular with a young British crowd, its main draw the neon-lit strip of late-night discos, English-style pubs, and fast food kiosks. Hotels and apartments overlook the two-kilometre-long sand beach, offering water sports and bungee jumping. The Star Beach water park in Chersonissos is also nearby. Daily excursion boats run to Ayios Nikolaos.
